Zico Coconut Water


One of the things I look forward to the most when I go to Bikram yoga was drinking a box of coconut water after the 90 minute work out. My bikram yoga class usually sells O.N.E coconut water, and I’ve always loved it. It has been a while since I did a yoga class, so I was looking extra forward to it. But to my disappointment, they stopped selling O.N.E and replaced that with Zico Coconut Water.

The packaging of Zico is identical to O.N.E, just with different graphics, and without a straw. It has almost identical nutrition values as O.N.E but it doesn’t taste as good as O.N.E. While it was still pretty yummy, it was less sweet, and tasted more watery. I still prefer O.N.E better.

One box of coconut water has only 60 calories, 15 carbs, it has tons of potassium, and electrolytes, it’s an excellent drink to get before or during a hard work out. And it is excellent at re-hydrating you after the work out too. Served iced cold, so delicious.

I’ve been searching for coconut water in local stores but I haven’t had any luck yet. I think I’d have to settle to buy them online. Even with that option, I’d still go with O.N.E coconut water (review coming when I get my hands on one).

    I like Vita Coco soooo much better. It has all the same nutritional benefits, but tastes better and is not owned by a major company. (like Coke who has assumed control of Zico)Vita Coco turned down both Coke and Pepsi, who quickly gained control of Zico and ONE.

    I agree with Marjorie! Vita Coco is a lot better than Zico and ONE. If you haven’t tried Vita Coco you’re missing out! Try the Pineapple one, it’s amazing!

    AWESOME PRODUCT!!! I’ve been seeing it more and more and all the celebs are drinking it – so refreshing and filling! LOVE that everyone is trying it and enjoying it as much as I am :)

    I always replenish with coconut water after yoga, too! I think Vita Coco is the best brand on the market. Nothing makes me feel better! My favorite flavors are the acai and pomegranate and the tangerine..but I’m dying to try the pink grapefruit! Have any of you tried it yet?

    Vita Coco is not only healthy, but also miraculous! It helped my brother get through remission! I recommend it to ALL.
